Ramos's codefendant in the methamphetamine case, Juan Carlos Ramos, pleaded guilty to three felony charges and was sentenced to 12 years in prison (he is scheduled to be released in May 2015). The nature of the relationship between the Ramoses is unclear.
Federal court records show that shortly after Ramos was released from prison in November 2008, she was accused of violating various terms of her probation, including using marijuana, drinking alcohol to excess, and "associating with known felons."
How big a sleazebag is Camp? Consider this AJC report on the court's statement at Camp's plea hearing:
The statement said [Camp and Rollins] met to have sex, smoke pot and snort cocaine and ground-up pain pills. It noted that Camp got a deputy U.S. marshal to run a criminal background check of the stripper, saying he was renting out a house and wanted to check out a possible female renter. It said he followed the stripper to drug deals, bringing along a loaded handgun for her protection.
When the stripper, described only as "Confidential Informant-1," asked Camp on Oct. 1 to accompany her to a drug deal and watch her back, the judge did not hesitate, saying he'd not only bring his "little pistol," he'd bring his "big pistol," too. When Camp was arrested, agents found two handguns in his car; one was loaded with a round in the chamber, the hammer cocked and the safety on.
Gee, I wonder what "big pistol" the judge was referring to. This is the kind of high-minded "jurists" we have on the federal bench, folks. Based on what I've seen of state and federal judges, Camp hardly is a lone "rotten apple."
Camp has plenty of company in judicial sleazedom, but it's laughable to see how some in the legal community have tried to make excuses for him.
John Stuckey, one of Camp's former law partners, grasped for an explanation of the judge's behavior:
